“I can’t believe she is gone. Mary was my life, my light, my love. The emptiness I feel without her with me is without bottom. She was a force of nature who fiercely defended her autonomy even as her health was failing. Mary was fearless, determined, and willfull. If she felt strongly about something, or that there was truth to be told, she would do it, no matter the consequences,” he told People.

“She was kind, genuine, approachable, honest, and humble. And she had that smile. Oh, to see her smile that smile, just once more. … My sadness is only tempered by the remarkable outpouring of good wishes, tributes, and personal ‘Mary stories’ told, with heart, by those touched by her grace,” Robert‘s statement continued. “As long as we all remember her, talk about her, share our stories about her, and what she meant to us, her light will never go out.”

The legendary actress was buried at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Connecticut on Sunday (January 29) and her funeral was closed to the public. About 50 friends and family attended the private service, including Bernadette Peters.

“It was very quiet, a small group,” Fairfield Police Lt. James Perez told the Connecticut Post. “There was a brief service. It’s a beautiful site that she’s at. It’s nice what the family did. It was a nice little send-off for her.”

There have been reports that Mary‘s family purchased 12 plots in the cemetery to ensure that she will have privacy in the future.
